Philip Agbese, the Deputy Spokesman of the House of Representatives, has stated that the constitutional review process focuses on state creation, state police, and other key issues. During an interview on Arise TV, Agbese lauded the Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, for his exceptional leadership and innovative approach to constitutional review.
He noted that the Kalu-led committee has adopted a citizen-driven approach, engaging various stakeholders and soliciting input from Nigerians nationwide. Agbese noted that these efforts have not only enhanced the review process but also fostered a sense of ownership and inclusivity among Nigerians. 'We consequently identified critical stakeholders in various sectors to interface with us, provide their insight and guide us through the process.
'The committee has set a timeline for themselves and is aggressively working on areas of concern to Nigerians, such as state creation, state police, local government autonomy, and contradictions in local government election and autonomy and funding for the judiciary,' he said. Agbese assured that the committee will keep its promise of concluding the process before December 2025. 'We are trying to amend the constitution and not create further problems for the nation.
